I am going on a Missions Trip to South Africa in May with the Trinity Western University Men’s Basketball Team. We will be working with Hoops 4 Hope running clinic and building relationships with kids and communities!
In order to raise funds to make this trip possible, we have set up a webiste for anyone to visit and give donate any amount, even $5 will make a difference… Every player and coach has also written their story and why this trip is important to them… Here is a little exert from mine!
HomeComing!
After graduating, I had a very special and unique opportunity to come back to TWU, start a Masters degree in Business, and play college basketball for two more years. Again I look back to how amazing it all worked out, and it is a tribute to those who have helped me, and as it turns out, I get the chance to work with one of my biggest supports again, Coach Allen!
I have enjoyed every aspect of being at TWU, from my amazing teammates, athletic administration, and everything that the Complete Champion Approach stands for!
What I have enjoyed the most about Trinity is the emphasis on giving back to the community. I truly believe that this is what its all about! I have had the opportunity with our basketball team to travel to a remote tribe in Alert Bay and run clinics, work within our community, and fix glasses that were sent to those less fortunate by Iris, just to name a few…
It has been an amazing journey and I look forward to the upcoming trip to South Africa and all of the opportunities both big and small to help others and build our program!
South Africa
Okay, so to conclude – to say I am excited about the trip to South Africa is an understatement. I never would have thought or dreamed that we would have an opportunity to travel around the world and work with young kids and communities – using basketball as the channel to teach them life skills and build relationships.
What an amazing experience we are in for! I will be updating my facebook and twitter feeds while we are over there, I would love for anyone to follow along. Also, if you are able to help us with any donation, we all appreciate it. It doesn’t have to be a lot, even 5$ will make a huge difference in the end!
Thank you for reading and for all of your support along the way!
YOU are the reason why we are able to do this, and without you, we would not have this opportunity to travel the world and have a positive lasting influences on individuals and communities!
